easyBet Predictions Quarter-Finals
France vs Morocco (Thursday 9th July – 9pm)
Backing both teams to score in France vs Morocco offers incredible value at 49%, where a £10 stake returns £20.41.
France and Morocco served up exactly this outcome when they met at the 2022 World Cup semi-finals – France winning 2-0 in a game that flattered the scoreline. Morocco arrive in Boston having already improved on that campaign, and Ouahbi’s side carry a genuine goal threat through Saibari, whose five tournament goals make him one of the competition’s standout individual performers. France, meanwhile, have scored in every single match at this tournament – Deschamps’ side have not kept a clean sheet in 14 consecutive games across all competitions. Mbappé carries eight World Cup goals, Dembélé has contributed three assists and Olise has been the creative force throughout. Morocco scored against Brazil and Holland in the group stage, demonstrating they find the net against the very best. Back both teams to score and you are essentially betting on two of the tournament’s most potent attacks to do what they have done in every previous quarter-final in 2026.
49% PLACE BETSpain vs Belgium (Friday 10th July – 8pm)
Spain vs Belgium to end with both teams not scoring stands out as a high-probability option at 48%, where a £10 stake returns £20.83.
Spain have been the tournament’s most watertight defensive unit – six matches played, not a single goal conceded. That record is not a coincidence. De la Fuente’s side press with suffocating intensity from the first whistle, deny opposition space in behind and carry the defensive leadership of Rodri and Laporte to shut down even the most creative attackers. Belgium’s route to the quarter-finals has produced goals – but De Ketelaere’s brace against the USA came from individual defensive errors rather than sustained attacking quality, and Rodri’s midfield will not offer those same lapses. Spain have kept clean sheets against Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Austria and Portugal – five consecutive shutouts against progressively better opposition. Belgium have failed to score in three of their last seven competitive matches. At the available price, backing nil-nil or a Spain clean sheet against a Belgium attack that has yet to face a defence of this quality looks the most compelling defensive selection of the quarter-finals.
48% PLACE BETArgentina vs Switzerland (Sunday 12th July – 2am)
Backing Draw or Switzerland on the double chance stands out as a highly grounded selection at 44%, where a £10 stake returns £22.73.
Switzerland arrive in Kansas City as the most defensively disciplined side remaining in the tournament – six matches, two goals conceded, and a penalty shootout victory over Colombia that demonstrated their capacity to withstand elite attacking pressure across 120 gruelling minutes. Argentina, meanwhile, have shown genuine vulnerability at this World Cup. They needed a miracle comeback against Egypt, trailing 2-0 with 23 minutes remaining before three late goals saved their campaign. Messi missed a penalty against Egypt and another against Austria – the most reliable finisher in World Cup history is carrying uncharacteristic nerves at crucial moments. Switzerland’s compact defensive structure, anchored by Akanji and Xhaka’s midfield shield, has frustrated every opponent they have faced. Yakin’s side ground Colombia to a standstill across 120 goalless minutes – Argentina’s attacking quality is superior, but Switzerland’s ability to make matches ugly and nervy gives the double chance genuine appeal at the available price.
